That is what i always do, it has become a habit, and i think it is a good habit.. since the hands are one of the dirtiest parts of the body since you never know where it has been. So whenever you want to put something in your mouth, always wash your hands so you are sure there's no bacteria that will come into your mouth.

I wash my hands every time before eating, washing the dishes, handling food or preparing meals. In general I wash my hands when I come in the house from outside (after being in town or in the garden) or after using the toilet. So my towels are always wet and I have to change them frequently. Washing hands is a main rule for keeping healthy. Many contagious diseases can be spread by dirty hands such as hepatitis.

I agree. Frequent hand washing is a good way to prevent getting some diseases. I make sure that I have anti bacterial wet wipes and hand sanitizer in my purse because we'll never know what is in the stuff that we always touch, like doors, elevators, staircases' handles, etc.

washing our hands is always a good habit. its helps us to remain healthy. if we wash our hands regularly before eating then we can reduce the chance of acquiring a disease. when talking about washing our hands i remember what we had taught in our child hood days "brush our teach twice a day", "wash your hands daily"

I always think it is a good habit to wash hands before taking food. I think most probably as you said bacteria might be in hands and it is good to wash hands and to clean them before eating food.

This is one of the best habits you can have. However never assume that after doing this your hands are clean. Don't put them on your food or in your mouth. As soon as you dry your hands and put them on a surface they collect new germs.
This is why, when treating open wounds it is best to use rubber gloves if possible.

Yes, as what we have been told again and again always clean our hands before and after eating. It should be a habit because our hands is the one we used on anything that we can hold on to, so most of the time it gets dirty.

That's a good habit,it will save you from lots of diseases.People don't wash hands and eat, that causes lot of infection, in fact e touch our face with hands lots of times during the day and we dont realize that,doing that with dirty hands can cause serious infections too.
